Octoberfest!

In case you missed it in an earlier post, Octoberfest is nearing:

Announcing the Twelfth Annual Octoberfest Seminar and Liturgical Conference at St. Paul’s Evangelical-Lutheran Church, Kewanee, Illinois, beginning Sunday, October 7th at 5 pm until midafternoon on Monday.The Conference theme is “In Remembrance of Me: Who's Doing the Remembering?”This year we are pleased to welcome as our guest the Reverend Chaplain Jonathan E. Shaw, S.T.M., a highly decorated Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army, having served in theaters and posts around the world; including Korea, Nicaragua, Iraq, Germany, and other places.He is currently stationed at the Chief of Chaplains’ office in Washington, D.C.He has also served as chairman of the Board for Congregational Services of the LutheranChurch—Missouri Synod.Chaplain Shaw has been an associate editor of Gottesdienst since its inception in 1992.His popular Sabre of Boldness column is featured in every issue.

Chaplain Shaw will examine the words of Institution, looking especially at the background of the Hebrew Scriptures and the concept of remembrance.

New this year:on the following day (Tuesday), a liturgical seminar is planned for anyone interested in participating in a roundtable discussion seeking uniformity in our worship practices.Informed Lutheran clergy are particularly invited to provide input and exchange of ideas.

$25 per person (students $15)$40 per couple--includes Sunday banquet and Monday continental and luncheon; no charge for children with parents.The Tuesday seminar alone is free (but a donation would be nice).

To register, go to www.liturgyseminar.blogspot.com and find the registration information in the sidebar; there’s even an option to do it all online, including payment.

About Me
